2002 Map of Harrisburg

About this map

The Cahaba River winds through the heart of this landscape, marking the rugged transition between Harrisburg and the dense timberlands of the Talladega National Forest. In the early 21st century, this section of Perry County remained defined by its rural church communities and historic creek crossings. Family history is etched into the terrain at Perkins Cem and Mt Gilead Cem, while local landmarks like the Cahaba Lookout and Ham Fork Hunter Camp indicate the area's use for both forestry management and recreation. The northern reaches show a cluster of activity around the Antioch Ch and the Harrisburg Bridge, where Affonee Creek joins the main river channel. Further south, the map details smaller settlements like Levert and the drainage patterns of Potato Patch Creek and Mill Creek.
